| Re: Remote Control for Midi devices?
Yeah, it may not be that necessary in the pro environment that uses midi. But suppose you had more than one piece of midi-controllable gear hooked up. (I have two, DEQ and DCX). A separate controller could control both at one, allowing you to load the corresponding memories in each one if related changes are required. I also think it's a lot more convenient to make a "Program Change" with a two button press on a keypad than do all the menu-button pressing, knob twirling, display reading and dialog confirming you have to do on the piece of gear itself. A midi remote would be a shortcut to all that for someone who needs to make quick global changes, and who doesn't use an instrument keyboard themselves. Anyway, a small keyboard like the M-Audio Oxygen 8 is here today and it just a little larger than would be needed.
